Maid of Honor- Meagan McCarthy Naturally the title of MOH was always going to be my sister and best friend, Meagan. She's been by my side through the most monumental events in my life, we've truly been through it all together. So I couldn't imagine one of the happiest days of my life without her standing beside me.      Bridesmaids- Jennifer Snead  Jennie and I met over a decade ago as newbies to the Surgical ICU in Baltimore, I knew almost instantly at lunch during our orientation that she was going to be a lifelong friend. We've been each other's shoulder to cry on, cheerleaders throughout grad school, and sidekicks through thick and thin.   Elise Feldman Elise and I became close shortly after high school and have remained close through so many stages of life since. She never forgets a birthday or any special occasion and is basically an honorary family member at this point!   Abbey Donaldson From beach trips to pool days, Abbey and Russ have become two of Ryan and my favorite people to spend time with. We met on S. Decker and our friendship has grown with each year that passes.   Nicole Battista Nikki was my best friend in high school and i'm pretty sure that's when I first told her she'd be a bridesmaid in my wedding. Lots of life changing things have happened since but throughout all of life's curveballs, every time we talk it feels like we've never skipped a beat.   Stacye Kellerman Going through the most challenging time of our lives at Georgetown together shaped my un-shakable bond with Stace. Even though we don't live as close as we used to, we've managed to still remain great friends and make time for a skype happy hour now and then!   Elise Johnson Elise has been a second older sister to me since before I can actually remember. We've grown into great friends as adults and some of my favorite memories are visiting her in Frederick and Florida.   Becca Gum Becca has been present for so many of my favorite times and is always there to make me laugh and let loose when I’ve really needed it the most! For so many years, her carefree spirit and easy-going personality has been just the right amount of yin to my yang. Not only is she one of the best people to have by my side when I want to enjoy the moment, she’s also always been incredibly dependable and reliable.    Elizabeth Borissow From back in our SICU days to trying to survive Georgetown, Liz has always been a mentor and great friend to me. After graduating and moving back to Baltimore, she and Ivan were two of my favorite people to bop around Fells Point with and she's always been one of the first people i'd go to for advice.
